Congratulations to the You Rock winners for March
Three You Rock Award recipients were named for March: Aimee Grugan was recognized for advocating for the interests of staff in the college; Lisa Reihart stepped in to help another unit during their time of need; and Jackie Smith has worked very hard to incorporate a new process for embedded courses in the college while continuing to be student-centered. The entire Staff Advisory Committee congratulates these three and the work they do to help the college run more smoothly. If you know someone who goes above and beyond, fill out the short You Rock nomination form here.
